*Alexander

>>49716554
how much interest is being paid out at this point? this looks like infinite money cheats

>>49716590
Actually Alexander wept because an astronomer had explained to him that the universe is quite vast and contains other worlds that he may never conquer.

Ceasar just waged an illegal war against Gaul, he didn't conquer shit.

Indeed. This is it, isn't it? The collapse.

>>49716731
actually I wept

>>49716554
Can somebody explain to me what reverse repo rate is like I am baby, because its all the gme heads talk about

>>49716554
Caesar wept because despite all his accomplishments, he realized Alexander had done far better at a far younger age.
>It is reported that King Alexander the Great, hearing Anaxarchus the philosopher discoursing and maintaining this position: That there were worlds innumerable: fell a-weeping: and when his friends and familiars about him asked what he ailed. Have I not (quoth he) good cause to weep, that being as there are an infinite number of worlds, I am not yet the lord of one?
-Plutarch from "On Tranquillity of Mind"

>illegal war
do people actually believe this bullshit? lmao

>>49716731
were i not diogenes i would be alexander

>>49716554
ok but what does this spike in reverse repos mean ?
explain like im a dumb frogposter

>>49717040
Didn't realise there were international rules of war 2000 years ago.

>>49716554
so is it

- money market funds not trusting banks and parking their cash at the Fed
- lack of treasuries for collateral in the private banking system
- just too much excess cash in the system
- reverse repo is not expensive enough so everyone is using it

>>49717040
Gallia est omnis divisa in partis tris, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur... Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae.

You totally misunderstood the context of that quote you retard.

>>49717703
I think he's referring to the anti-cesarian senate's disapproval of the war in Gaul. Cesar basically started the war himself. He's just lucky that he did really well (and quickly), or else he would've been arrested and disgraced.

>>49717849
>- reverse repo is not expensive enough so everyone is using it
i dont think you understand how reverse repo works. the overnight rate is just really appealing right now because everything is tanking. it's literally just people looking for safety

>>49717547
banks got too much free money but don't want to loan it out
they don't want it sitting around doing nothing
they give it back to the fed for a tiny interest rate

>>49717040
Oh noes! Whens the UN gonna do something about that greek manlet?

>>49718189
So basically this patches up inflation? Why doesn’t the Fed scoop up all the dollars they printed in 2020?

>>49717611

Banks gotta balance the books at the end of the day, and shouldn't keep more than 38.5% of assets in liquid cash.
No top-tier short-term, liquid investments to park it, no banks are in need of overnight loans to cover minimum liquidity requirements, and no one's taking out the right kinds of loans, so the Fed offers up a minimal interest rate to park it there.
Ultimately, too much cash in the system and not enough demand for bank lending / too much investment risk.

>Gets btfo by India and leaves
>Never even gets near china
>Nothing left to conquer

>>49717703
protip, there's none now either. The only current "rule" is the nuke.

>>49717669
There's a ton of money available
Corporations and the like don't want to gamble on stocks since they're risk adverse, or lock in cash for a long time, they want to wait till rates increase so they get a good deal on 10 year Treasury notes, so they want short term deposits while they wait
Banks don't want all this money on deposit, because deposits count as a liability in our monopoly money world
Instead, corporations and the like are being told to park their cash in money market funds
These funds primarily go for reverse repos and other short term shit

tl;dr, there's a lot of money waiting to be dumped on the market once rates increase more, or the market outlook is less shit

>Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae.
I am a belgian and this is cope, Caesar bragging that the ones he beat were the best

>>49718264
it does not patch up inflation, it makes it worse
anyone who understands these things knows the current stage is pure theatre

>oh wow the FED is raising rates and reducing its balance sheet!!
>the balance sheet

>>49718648
So it's kind of a game of chicken between the fed and everyone else. The fed wants everyone to buy long term Treasury notes while rates are still cheap, so the government doesn't have massive interest payments. But everyone else want to hold out for higher rates so they're making a killing off the fed. Meanwhile inflation is killing everyone else.

>>Gets btfo by India and leaves
what is this revisionism? he crushed the pajeets, but went home because his soldiers were tired and mutinous from 10 years of non-stop campaigning

do indian schools teach little pajeets that they defeated alexander?

You guys are leaving out one important point:
When banks lend money to the Fed overnight, the
Fed gives them Treasury Bills as security for the loan. This is a mandated part of the deal.

The Fed's balance sheet does nothing to differentiate between T-bills that were given out in RRP and T-bills that go to actual buyers.
This artificially inflates demand for T-bills.
It makes it seem like US government debt is far for in-demand than it actually is.

Were I not Diogenes, I would still wish to be Diogenes.

And yet the world continues to scramble, rushing to get their capital inside the United States and denominated in dollars.

The only revisionism is that he left because his troops were mutinying from winning too hard.

>>49718780
How does it affect inflation at all? It's basically removing all that money from circulation, isn't it?
When this money enters circulation, then everyone holding dollars gets poor, right?

>>49718780
>>49720179
It will make inflation worse once the 2+ trillion dollars get dumped on the market. It gives the fed a way to "save" the market temporarily without having to crank the money printer up or lower rates.

>>49720179
The Fed has to print money to pay the interest on this, which will just be put back in requiring larger and larger interest payments. When the money is eventually pulled out it will result in an even larger problem than before.

>his soldiers were tired and mutinous
got btfo'd by his own, good, the fuck did they even go there for. all these dumbass conquers everywhere had more or less the same fate in the end, killed countless people only to have nothing in the end but so called medals of valor, absolute state of retards

>>49720715
>only to have nothing in the end
Except their names in the history books. Alexander has been dead for 2400 years, Caesar for 2000, and every child knows their names. Meanwhile you and I will be forgotten within a couple decades of our death.
Realistically if you're posting here you're already forgotten though :^)

*Glorious Leader Joe Biden

>When Alexander the Great was dying in 323 BC, he had three wishes:

>The best doctors should carry his coffin;
>The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones, etc.) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery;
>His hands should be let loose, hanging outside the coffin for all to see.

>His followers were surprised and asked him to explain his unusual requests. Alexander explained each of his wishes in the following manner:

>Even the best doctors can’t save you from death;
>All the wealth acquired on Earth stays on Earth;
>We come to this world empty-handed and we leave it empty-handed.

well that's true its good they're in our history books so we can learn and remember how retarded they were and nothing they did or at least most of what they did was anything of special, they were in special positions in their times that's all, you wanna be remembered for good become enlightened become a buddha but that's not everyone's cup of tea, its easier to rape and pillage than to take the harder path and go in the opposite direction
as far as im concerned i've no wish to be remembered regardless of what i become in my life useful or useless

There were, but no international law to speak of. Romans had a whole ritual of a pretend false flag attack where they lob a spear from outside their border into theirs.
